Ouch - is this in the Java policy? Does this need to be satisfied before you make your first upload, or can we refine the package and their dependencies as a continual process over time? For something like maven this could be quite a few packages. Something else to think about are (future) packages that are built with Maven, (eg most of the jakarta commons and codehaus, etc code). Maven will generally download all dependencies during build time unless we make it run in offline mode, however we have (atm) no automated way of currently building a local maven repository from Build-Depends-Indep java packages.... > For any java package in Debian, you can find useful tips at the pkg-java > Alioth's project: > http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ Cool - thanks for that, subscribing to the java maintainers mailing list now..
